The anonymous narrator of the novel, a former government official, has decided to withdraw from the world and live a life of inertia and contemplation.
His fiercely bitter, cynical, and humorous monologue ranges from general observations and philosophical reflections to unforgettable scenes from his own life, including his obsessive plans for revenge against an officer who has shown him disrespect and a dramatic encounter with a prostitute.
Considered by many as the first existential novel and showcasing the best of Dostoevsky's dry humor, "Notes from Underground" marked a defining moment in the development of modern literature and has inspired countless novelists, thinkers, and filmmakers.
